As a conscious creator of her own life, Vanessa is inspired to shine brightly and BE the beacon of change for many just like her.

Having followed the conditioned path and been paralysed by the fear of ‘not being good enough’ which resulted in a life that was ‘less than’ she knew in her heart she was capable of being, doing and having more.

At a pivotal point in her life, Vanessa finally got sick of her own bu!lshit narrative.

She rolled up her sleeves, got radically honest and shed the limits to transcended her own belief system to a new reality.

A colourful, vibrant, thrilling reality, that didn’t involve throwing away all the ingredients, but simply ‘mixing them to a new recipe’.

Subsequently Vanessa exudes an energy in her ‘next chapter’ that is inspiring, motivating and contagious….. and she now follows her soul passion and purpose which is to guide others to FEEL differently in their next chapter… whatever that looks and feels like to them!
